Chapter 247
Hearing this, Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing looked at him in surprise: "What is it?"
"Do you remember the dust and gravel in the air when we went to the Nightmare World before?" Facing the two people's incredulous gazes, Wu Mingming nodded affirmatively, "That's it."
Jiang Tianming widened his eyes and tried to take in the information for a while before asking in confusion: "How did you know?"
Based on his understanding of Wu, it is impossible for the other party to be idle and study the material of the debris floating in the air in the Nightmare World.
"Su Bei specifically asked me this question before." Wu Mingbai answered, "I suspect he may have known something in advance."
Then he remembered another thing: "Not long ago, he gave me a fragment of Life Stone to test its material. He probably suspected that Life Stone was also made of meteorites. But I have already tested it. That thing is Life Stone and has nothing to do with meteorites. So if we want to completely eliminate the Nightmare Beast, we should just need to find a way to clean up the broken stone powder in the air of the Nightmare Beast world."
"'Only need'" Lan Subing looked at him in disbelief, "You said it as if it was easy."
Although she was just complaining, the three of them fell silent because of this complaint. As Lan Subing said, this method of completely destroying the nightmare beast is not easy, and it is even confusing.
In their opinion, the air of the Nightmare world is almost integrated with the black gravel. How can it be cleaned up? How is this different from asking them to clean up all the dust on the earth?
No wonder those two nightmare beasts were so confident. Even a very powerful psychic couldn't do this!
The situation on the field did not allow them to think too much, as the cockroach nightmare beast caught up with a large group of "little brothers" in an instant. As for the spider nightmare beast, it should be dealing with Qi Huang and others now.
The three of them didn't bother to continue discussing and immediately started to run away again. It was definitely not possible to go into the dark movie theater. Although the two high-level nightmare beasts in there had already left, who knew what they had just come for. It was better not to go in if possible.
After Jiang Tianming and the others left with the nightmare beast that was chasing them, Su Bei walked out of the cinema. He used an invisibility charm and then slowly followed them.
Since the mission had been completed, there was no need for him to stay in the cinema. The reason why he continued to follow Jiang Tianming and others was because he was worried that they would rashly tell others about what had just happened. Whether it was to the government, the teacher, or the nightmare beast, Su Bei did not want to see it.
As I said before, it takes time to make the plot you designed through comics come true. This comic will probably be updated tonight or tomorrow at the latest. If you want to make what he just performed come true, you have to wait until the next comic update, which is at least a few days later.
Any mistakes during this period may lead to the failure of the final adaptation.
Once the humans and nightmare beasts learn what just happened, they will immediately investigate the truth of the matter.
There is no doubt that the result of their investigation must be that there is no such thing. If the truth is revealed, his plan will be ruined. Even if the plot has been drawn in the comics and the readers all believe it, the author can still easily reverse it in the next chapter.
After leaving the cinema, Jiang Tianming and the other two fought and retreated all the way. They had been to the first floor before, which was originally empty, but now it was full of low-level cockroaches and nightmare beasts. There was also purple liquid on the ground, which was probably the venom of spider nightmare beasts.
It can be said that the first floor is now a place where you can't step down. Even if you want to fly out, you can't, because the door has been sealed. If you want to force your way out, you will be surrounded by nightmare beasts before you can open the door.
So it was obvious that Jiang Xianming's plan was to wait for two hours until Wu Jin and the other two outside could call for support. This was not difficult for them. Although high-level nightmare beasts were powerful, it was not easy for them to kill people unless they were in a specific environment.
Jiang Tianming had already prepared a retreat route in advance. Although they seemed to be on the passive side, in fact, the nightmare beasts were the ones who were truly passive. All they had to do was keep running away.
However, running away is also very exhausting, especially when there are enemies chasing behind. Lan Subing soon became exhausted. She was the weakest among the three people, and she consumed the most mental energy along the way, so she was naturally the first to give up.
"I... huh, I can't go on any longer, let's find a place to rest!" Lan Subing panted heavily and spoke very quickly, then tried hard to adjust her breathing so that she would not get a stitch in the side while running.
The other two had no objection, so the three of them immediately went to a higher platform, where Wu Mingbai used the [Earth Element] to create a fortress and forced themselves to curl up there like turtles.
The reason why we had to go to a higher platform was because the cockroach nightmare beasts could often drill out from the ground. This must be some kind of special skill of theirs, even concrete floors can't stop them from breaking out of the ground.
In response, Blue Ice said that this is what cockroaches do.
After successfully building the fort, the three hid inside and enjoyed a short rest. Wu knew that he couldn't use his supernatural powers to support it for too long. At the latest, when the fort was broken, they should leave. Suqi City was so dangerous, he had to save some mental strength for himself as a protection.
"Let's discuss what happened just now while we're resting." Jiang Tianming brought up the past, "We'll tell the government about the method to completely eliminate the Nightmare Beast after we get out."
"Let there be light." Lan Subing said a simple word, and the dark space suddenly became bright.
“Boom boom boom!”
Before the three of them could start discussing, there was a knock on the door. It was obvious that the knock was made by a person, because the low-level nightmare beasts around would not knock on the door so regularly, and the high-level cockroach nightmare beast probably would not try to trick them into opening the fortress by knocking on the door at this time.
But the question is, who will show up at this time?
The three of them looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes. Out of curiosity, Wu finally opened a small door in the stone fort that could only accommodate one person.
The next second, Su Bei suddenly appeared at the door and immediately came in. Wu Mingbai also closed the door again in time, and then looked at this guy who suddenly appeared strangely: "Why are you here?"
"I saw your fortress and came to join in the fun." Su Bei didn't seem to think his behavior was strange at all and said it openly.
In fact, the reason why he risked his life to come here was mainly because he could not hear the conversation between Jiang Tianming and the other two hiding in the fort, so he had to come in and eavesdrop on their conversation in person, lest they decide to hand over the intelligence to the authorities without saying anything, and his presence could change their thinking.
Although the three of them were speechless at his words, they did not continue the topic and returned to what had just happened. With a new person joining in, the discussion naturally could not start right away.
Jiang Tianming asked Su Bei directly: "Why did you find out the materials of gravel and life stone twice before?"
If the person in question was someone he was not so familiar with, he would definitely not ask directly, but would ask in a roundabout way. But since the person in question was from Su Bei, there was no need for that. Asking directly can effectively avoid wasting time and effort.
Hearing this, Su Bei's eyes flashed with realization: "It seems that you know something."
He really knew! The three of them thought of this first, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although Su Bei's knowledge of this matter might not be of any use, it at least made them less confused.
"We just overheard the conversation between two high-level Nightmare Beasts and learned that in order to completely eliminate the Nightmare Beasts, we need to clean up the meteorites that brought Nightmare Beasts and superpowers to the world. And the debris in the air of the Nightmare Beast world are fragments of meteorites." Jiang Tianming recounted what had just happened in a concise manner. After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Bei leisurely, waiting for his explanation.
Su Bei did not intend to hide it and answered honestly, "I have known this for a long time. When I asked Wu Mingliang before, I was also trying to determine what the meteorite had become."
After getting his answer, the last bit of doubt in the hearts of the three people was completely eliminated. Lan Su's icy blue eyes were full of joy: "It's great to have a way to completely destroy the nightmare beast!"
No matter how difficult this method is, as long as it exists, it can bring hope to people.
"Speaking of which, the Nightmare Beast was originally brought by meteorites falling from the sky. It seems easy to think of the logic that the Nightmare Beast will disappear after all the meteorites are sent away. Why has no one discovered this for so long?" Wu Mingbai suddenly thought about this problem.
Over the years, countless people must have been studying how to completely eliminate the Nightmare Beast. The origin of the Nightmare Beast is not a particularly secret thing. At least a group of students like them can find relevant information by chance.
How come no one thought of this?
That's because this method is simply fake, Su Bei thought silently in his heart. However, this problem can be used. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "How do you know that the top leaders don't know how to completely eliminate the nightmare beast? They just can't do it."
It is possible. Wu Mingbai was convinced. This method is too difficult. You have to know that the nightmare world is very large, and its area is definitely not less than a continent. No matter how powerful the psychic is, it is impossible to clear the meteorite fragments on an entire continent.
As someone who possessed the [Earth Element] ability, Wu Mingliang could relate to this even more. Just thinking about it made him feel that there was no hope at all.
"If the higher-ups already knew about it... then there's no need for us to report it specifically." Jiang Tianming successfully fell into Su Bei's trap and gave up the idea of reporting it.
Lan Subing and Wu Mingbai also agreed with him. If the high-level officials knew about this matter, then there was no need for them to say it. The high-level officials must have passed this information to each other. Those who didn't know the information could only be people of lower status. As for why they didn't make the information public, they must have their own considerations, just like not telling others that the nightmare beast was transformed from the resentment of the dead.
"Should we tell Baozhu and the others?" Lan Subing asked, referring to the other members of Class S.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Tianming quickly shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk to the teacher first. When we get back, we will tell Teacher Meng about this matter and let him decide whether to tell other students or not."
This is the most reliable way. If Meng Huai doesn't know about this, he can also ask the principal Wu Di. As the principal of the "Endless Superpower Academy" and the leader of one of the top forces in the domestic superpower world, the three believe that he must know about this.
"After the battle is over." Wu Mingbai added. Regardless of whether they had the chance to meet Meng Huai in Suqi City or not, it would be better to wait until the battle was over before telling him about this.
Although this battle was not as dangerous as the previous one, that was only for ordinary espers like them. It was still very dangerous for powerful espers who needed to fight against high-level nightmare beasts head-on. After all, in order to delay them as much as possible, the nightmare beast side sent a large number of high-level nightmare beasts this time. If they distracted the teacher, it would be their fault.
This was told to them by Zhao Xiaoyu. Because of her supernatural powers, even though her supernatural powers and mental strength were not strong, she was arranged to fight against high-level nightmare beasts. Of course, she would deal with it secretly and would not appear on the front battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that Ling You has never appeared. This is very strange, because her ability is most suitable for this kind of battlefield. Especially when the Nightmare Beasts are about to use low-level Nightmare Sea Tactics, she can destroy tens of thousands of Nightmare Beasts with one [Plague].
Even if we want to develop a method to deal with all nightmare beasts at once, it might be helpful to let her come out and help control the situation.
It was a pity that Zhao Xiaoyu didn't know where Ling You had gone, and they hadn't seen Meng Huai in the past two days. So although he was puzzled, he didn't do anything.
After listening to their discussion, Su Bei finally put his worries to rest. By the time the battle was over, the next comic update would have been published. By then, it would be a done deal, and they could talk to anyone they wanted.
Now that this matter has been resolved, there is no need for Su Bei to stay here. Sorry, he is such a little boy who likes to destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
As soon as the fort disappeared, Jiang Tianming was about to lead everyone to the next location they had just discussed, but suddenly he found that there was one person missing from the team: "Where's Su Bei?"
Su Bei had already left the team with the help of the invisibility charm and returned to the cinema. There were no nightmare beasts in this place, so he could quietly fish until the matter was over.
If nothing unexpected happened, there were no nightmare beasts in the cinema. This should be the result of the discussion between the spider nightmare beast and the cockroach nightmare beast. They didn't want to offend him now. But this didn't mean they didn't want to kill him. It was just that they hadn't dealt with Jiang Tianming and the others yet, so they naturally didn't want to have another enemy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of having nothing to do, Su Bei placed the information about completely eliminating the Nightmare Beast in the database of the "Destiny" organization and classified it as top secret.
This is a safeguard. If the matter is exposed before the next comic is updated, someone might want to obtain intelligence from "Fate" as an intelligence organization. If relevant content is found from the organization, it can delay the process for a while.
After what happened last night, Su Bei rested here with peace of mind. When the time reached two hours, he slowly left the cinema. Su Bei believed that Li Shu and Wu Jin would not wait two hours to seek support. They would definitely find out something was wrong before and seek help in advance.
Therefore, it was just the right time to go out now. Maybe he would meet reinforcements after a few battles. As the saying goes, the diligent are not hit, the lazy are not hit, only the blind are hit. No matter how much work has been done before, it is considered discerning to be working when reinforcements arrive.
When they got out, they had already successfully killed the spider nightmare. But not the cockroach nightmare. This creature had a very strong ability to resurrect. Although they had killed it once, it revived again very quickly and then quickly ran away.
Since the high-level cockroach nightmare beast was not dead, the small cockroaches under it were naturally fine, so everyone still had to patiently clean them up. However, this was not a difficult task. Although everyone had little mental strength left, it was not difficult to eliminate the low-level cockroach nightmare beast.
Su Bei, who had been slacking off almost the entire time, finally played a role at this time. Several gears shot out from his hands like a lawn mower, reaping the lives of a large number of cockroach nightmare beasts in an instant.
However, not everyone was cleaning up cockroaches, and they felt that the task was easy. For Ai Baozhu and Si Zhaohua, this was undoubtedly a torture. Ai Baozhu completely gave up the fight, and opened the [Gorgeous Domain] in the store next door to create a small safe house for those who were tired to go in and rest.
Si Zhaohua was flying in the sky the whole time, attacking from a distance. It was impossible to get him to the ground.
It was hard for people who saw this scene not to have bad thoughts. It was fine for A Baozhu, but forcing her out was a bit unfair. Besides, a safe house without cockroaches was what they really needed, so they didn't make it difficult for her.
As for Si Zhaohua...
He watched Jiang Tianming controlling the object with his eyes wide open. On the surface, he wanted to smash the cockroach from a high altitude, but in fact, he was deliberately disturbing him and trying to pull it down from the sky.
The flying Qi Phoenix was also secretly harassing him in the sky, squeezing him down.
Lan Subing was even more ruthless, using the [Word Spirit] to attack indiscriminately, saying that he wanted to gather the cockroaches together so that it would be easier for them to attack. In fact, his boss Zhao Hua could also feel the power of the [Word Spirit]. If the opponent had not really used his full strength, he would have been pulled down.
"Isn't that enough for you guys?" Si Zhaohua couldn't bear it any longer.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him innocently. Ai Baozhu laughed so hard in the store that she fell backwards. At this time, she did not forget to speak up for everyone: "What's wrong with them? Aren't they all working hard?"
If someone else said this, it would be fine, but Ai Baozhu said that Si Zhaohua was really going to be pissed off. If he hadn't attracted all the firepower of the crowd, would she still be able to watch the show here with peace of mind?
"If you keep doing this, I will bring cockroaches to invade your territory later." Si Zhaohua threatened. He really hated these cockroach nightmare beasts, but not to the extent of Ai Baozhu. He could also attack from the ground before. This is also the reason why people choose to harass him. He either can't stand it at all or is just being hypocritical.
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Ai Baozhu admitted her mistake decisively and made a zipper gesture to her mouth, indicating that she should stop talking.
After dealing with this guy who was taking pleasure in misfortune, Si Zhaohua looked at everyone again and complained unhappily: "Can you still work properly? If you continue like this, I will be slacking off like Su Bei!"
Subei: ""
He looked at the pile of cockroach carcasses at his feet in disbelief, then looked up at Si Zhaohua who was lying with his eyes wide open: "It's not that you don't want to take me with you, I've been working hard!"
You know, it's rare for him to work so seriously.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and stopped making trouble: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha, let's not do it anymore. Let's just work hard."
As they were cleaning up, the door was suddenly kicked open. It was Li Shu and the other two who came with reinforcements.
Seeing that the students in the shopping center were not injured, the several superpowers who came to support them breathed a sigh of relief. You know, these are the future flowers of the motherland, and they must not get into trouble here.
It's already unfair to the students that they have to come to the main battlefield of a battle. If something happens to them here, the reputation of the supernatural government will definitely be greatly reduced.
With these people joining the battlefield, Jiang Tianming and others don't have to rush to eliminate the cockroaches.
He first briefly recounted what had happened before, focusing on the conspiracy of the two high-level nightmare beasts. He ignored the things they had overheard, and did not even mention the appearance of the two nightmare beasts.
"From what you said, it seems like they are waiting here for you..." the leading staff member said suspiciously, "Are they targeting you on purpose?"
I have to say that his judgment was very accurate. The spider nightmare beast really did deliberately target Jiang Tianming and others and ambushed them here. It was the intelligence conveyed by Su Bei and the nightmare beast that made everyone come to the shopping center.
However, Su Bei was not panicked because the other party guessed this. The people in Class S were thorns in the eyes of the Nightmare Beasts, and it was completely reasonable for them to be targeted.
Sure enough, the staff member quickly dispelled his doubts: "Yes, they should target you. Try not to leave the safe zone in the next few days. Just be responsible for clearing out the nightmare beasts outside the safe zone."
After hearing what he said just now, everyone felt that they were being targeted, and naturally had no objection to the other party's arrangement: "We understand, but teacher, these high-level nightmare beasts appeared here, didn't the government notice anything?"
The person asking the question was Jiang Tianming, who had just thought of this question. Normally, the city of Suqi must have been blocked in advance by items that could sense high-level nightmare beasts, otherwise it would be too easy to cause trouble if they were allowed to lurk in the city.
But there were two high-level nightmare beasts in the shopping mall, but the government didn't notice it at all, and there were no psychics around. This made him feel very strange.
Hearing this, the staff members' expressions also became serious. Just as Jiang Tianming thought, they did prepare a tool that could detect high-level nightmare beasts in advance. But this tool did not detect that there were two high-level nightmare beasts here. Could it be that the nightmare beasts had some countermeasures?
As the saying goes, when you find one cockroach in your home, there must be a whole nest of cockroaches in your home. The staff member had a bad feeling and had to go back and report this anomaly!
